Hyperboloid gear transmissions: innovations, experimental and manufacture realization

Fundamental Development of Hypocycloidal Gear Transmissions

LADD Transmissions: Design, Manufacture, and New Compliance Models

We introduce new compliance models for LADD transmissions which reduce inelastic model errors by an order of magnitude. These errors are due to ber bending, as opposed to the traditionally assumed ber elasticity. The new LADD models are experimentally veriied and applied to the modeling of concentric LADD devices. The new models are essential for the design of LADD based systems, the online est...

The Kinematic Design of Automatic Gear Transmissions for Bicycles

Recently, bicycles are used as exercising machines and traffic vehicles. Planetary gear trains can be used as the transmission systems for bicycles. The purpose of this work is to propose a design methodology for the kinematic design of automatic gear transmissions with planetary gear trains for bicycles. First, applying the check list method (combining and extending methods), the design concep...

Design of Hyperboloid Structures

The industrial manufacturing is making more widespread use of three-dimensional object recognition techniques. The shapes of many 3D objects can be described using some basic surface elements. Many of these basic surface elements are quadric surfaces, such as spheres and cylinders. For some industrial parts, the surface located at the junction of two other surface elements can often be regarded...
